I’ve
decided to limit my Kickstarter Watch posts to, at a maximum, once per week, as
I think more often is a bit too much. Seems there are more and more people and
companies producing stl-files and putting it on crowd-funding platforms, and
sometimes we get several in a week. It's a good time to own a 3D-printer!

So,
even though I’ve already posted on several kickstarters this week, I’ll finish with what’s left,

More
OpenLock compatible SF-scenery for your printer, centred around a moon-base or similar outpost.

A
pledge of £40 will get you everything (except the grav-tank which is a further
£5).

You’ll
be able to build corridors, prison blocks, warehouses, reactor room, a plethora
of vehicles, walls and defences, tank-assembly factory and much more.

Value
wise this looks like an excellent deal, ideal for adventures on a planet far,
far away, or a moon rather closer.

Check
it out!

This
KS ends on November 16 2017.

EDIT FEBRUARY 2018 - I have friends that have been seriously burnt by this company, WOW Buildings, and the kickstarter seem to be in a shambles. If you're interested in printing SF-scenery you might consider spending your money with other companies.

Here’s
an interesting kickstarter, Necroplex, where you print building blocks to use
with foamcore, wooden dowels and plastic pipes. This means you minimize
print-time and –materials and get more stuff on your gaming table in a
shorter time.

You
can build everything from walkways to huge buildings.

There are strech goals, of course.

This is a good idea and what is shown looks great, so this might be something to look
into if SF-gaming is your thing. Infinity players could really go mad with
urban terrain in a relatively short time.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
